A country that is crossed by pedaling, where the bicycle is not a sport but a profession, a means of transport, an everyday language. It is the Rwanda<\/strong> seen and told by Stefano Ferrando<\/strong>, sports journalist of the RSI<\/strong> and sent to the UCI World Championships Kigali 2025<\/strong> \u2014the first held on the African continent. The conference Rwanda \u2014 Beyond Stereotypes<\/em> arrives in Carlazzo Friday, May 29, 2026, at 8:45 PM<\/strong>, at the Civic Hall<\/strong>, free admission. With him on stage also Fabio Oddi<\/strong>, the \u201cpedalante\u201d who will bring the gaze of those who have crossed Rwanda on horseback.<\/p>\n

From the economic boom to the Cycling World Championships<\/h2>\n

The subtitle of the meeting already says a lot: \u201cFrom the economic boom to the Cycling World Championships: the story of a dynamic, modern, and evolving country.\u201d<\/em> For many, Rwanda remains linked to the images of 1994, when over a million people, both Tutsis and moderate Hutus, were killed in a hundred days. Thirty years later, the country presents itself as one of the most controversial development projects on the African continent: a safe and orderly capital, growing infrastructure, and a booming economy. This trajectory coexists with international criticism of the government of Paul Kagame<\/strong> and which Ferrando does not ignore, but rather places as a premise for understanding why Kigali was able to host a world-class sporting event.<\/p>\n

Stefano Ferrando, an RSI contributor to cycling<\/h2>\n

A historic face and voice of sport in Italian-speaking Switzerland, Ferrando hosted for fourteen years Non-Stop Sports<\/em> on RSI and is now one of the main signatures of the cycling editorial staff. He has covered the Tour, Giro, Northern Classics and several editions of the Olympic Games as a correspondent. September 2025<\/strong> He was on site in Kigali for the UCI World Championships<\/strong>, experienced not only on the roadside but with reconnaissance trips to the North and South of the country, far from the official circuits.<\/p>\n

The bicycle as a key to understanding<\/h2>\n

The real thread of the evening is the bicycle. In Rwanda, above 2,000 meters above sea level where cars struggle, everything is transported by pedal: sacks of potatoes and carrots, bunches of bananas, bricks, crates of beer, bundles of bamboo, even sofas and people. It's a country that travels on two wheels, and its cycling tradition is solid: the Tour of Rwanda<\/strong> It has been held continuously since 2001 and attracts European professional teams every year. The 2025 World Championship was established on this terrain, with a circuit considered among the toughest in history \u2014 all races above 1,400 meters above sea level, with climbs and cobblestone sections that have consecrated Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/strong> among men and seen Switzerland Marlen Reusser<\/strong> take gold in the time trial.<\/p>\n

Four keys to understanding: cycling, economy, society, the world<\/h2>\n

The meeting is structured around four corners which the poster summarizes well. cycling<\/strong> as passion and talent that unite people. A\u2019growing economy<\/strong> that evolves by opening up new opportunities and investing in the future. changing society<\/strong> which focuses on education, innovation and inclusion. And a country in openness to the world<\/strong>, made of cooperation, investment, and an increasingly global future. Four pieces of a mosaic that paints a picture of Rwanda far removed from the stereotypes we've grown accustomed to in Western media.<\/p>\n
